ER Visit

Unfortunately Mason spent a good part of the weekend not feeling like himself. He had been especially fussy, feverish and gassy on Saturday. On Sunday he had a fever of 100.4. We called the UofM docs and they agreed that we should bring him into the ER. He was constipated and vomiting as well and they were concerned that maybe something surgical was going on. When we arrived at the ER, Mason's temp was totally normal and he pooped 3 times! 5 hours later, after good urine and blood tests we were discharged and ready to head home. I guess he just wanted to visit his friends again.

On his trip to the ER, Mason made 2 more girlfriends :) He is such a ladies man!

Mason is also making some great physical and developmental strides. He is able to hold his head up without any help, even when he is on his tummy. He looks like he just wants to get up and crawl. He is also smiling all the time now. Before it was just an occasional smile, but now he is developing his sense of humor and smiling and cooing at our silly games. Mason and Buster must have already developed a special relationship because when Buster walks close by, Mason beams ear to ear. He also sometimes smiles when Buster barks, oddly enough...

This week Mason has OT/Speech and an appointment with his Pediatrician. We will try and post some more pictures and update everyone later this week.

Holy cow! I am so glad to hear that he is okay and home! I about fell out of my chair when I read your posting! We are keeping our fingers crossed that he stays on the straight and narrow..

Do you think you can teach him to say Bang Bang when Buster walks by?

Hi you guys,

It sounds like Mason is doing just what ALL children do when they get to the ER---Act like there is nothing wrong and make their parents feel silly! We are leaving Friday for NC to be with Aimee. Take care and we will be in touch soon.
